Sounds similar to Stormtrooper Accuracy and Ninja Effectiveness. There is a finite amount of deadliness that can be spread over an infinite number of attackers. Where there is one ninja or a few stormtroopers they will be deadly. Where there is a Death Star or Endor of stormtroopers or several hundred ninjas they will be less than useless.

For Star Wars, that would be in excess of 2 billion sentients. I'm not even going to address the death star issue, which also has to count for something. Same goes for episode six. And since Titan AE happens in the future, and the planet getting destroyed is earth, I'm going to assume that earth still has billions of people, very probably more than there are on earth at the moment.

I always liked the stuff with stupidly low body counts too. In all the years I watched the G.I.Joe cartoon, hundreds of planes being shot out of the air and everyone ejected out to a parachute just in time. Cobra should have taken over the world just on the power of pure dumb luck.

I believe it's time for mankind to set aside the crutch of religion and embrace morality born of reason and truth. Those crutches have long since proven treacherous when the ground gets slippery.

The A team was like that wasn't it...lots of shooting but absolutely no blood.

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.
